Full of warmth, charm, and timeless Colonial character, this beautifully updated home offers inviting spaces inside and out. From the moment you step inside, refinished hardwood floors, crown molding, arched doorways, and sun-filled rooms create a welcoming feel throughout. The foyer provides a practical drop zone for coats and everyday essentials before leading into the spacious living room, where built-in bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter set the tone for cozy evenings at home. French doors open to the Florida room, enhanced with new windows and offering a bright, relaxing space to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind with a book, or gather with guests. The formal dining room adds another layer of charm with two built-in hutches and direct access to the Florida room, creating an easy flow for entertaining. The kitchen features hardwood flooring, a pantry area, and appliances that stay, including the dishwasher and refrigerator. Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms, a remodeled full bath, hall closets, eave storage, and attic access. The unfinished basement offers valuable utility and peace of mind with laundry hookups, a concrete utility sink, glass block windows, waterproofing, two sump pumps, and a radon mitigation system. Outside, the large yard with mature trees creates a peaceful backdrop, complemented by a turnaround driveway and a 2-car detached garage. A charming, well-cared-for home with character in all the right places!
